SPECIAL NOTICE.
A CALL TO THE CoLORED CITIZENS.

Whereas it is customary among
colored people in the District of
Columbia to celebrate the Anniver-
Sary OF their Emancipation, we the
Executive Committee for the 25th
Anniversary do hereby call a con-
ventiOn of said people for the pur-
pose of celebrating the 10th of
April, Emancipation Day, with
such ceremonies as they may deem
proper, Therefore be it

to assemble in their respective
districts and elect (3) three dele.

THEY SAY THAT,
The Bee is THE Colored paper.
1t is outspoken, free and fearless.

1t is OutspOken, free and fearless.
While it is republican in princi-
pie it is no toady to party.
It's advocacy of Mr.. Matthews
for Recorder of Deeds is a just tri-
butte to a political opponent.
Mr.. Matthews should and will
be confirmed despite the jealousy
of a few would be leaders.
The opposition to Recorder Mat.
thews emanates, principally, from a
few disappointed colored men who
dislike being shelved.
A certain lady remarked that
she knew parties opposing Record
er Matthews because he failed to
give them social recognition.
A certain ten per center is airing
himself about Mr. Matthews be-
cause that gentleman declined to
take him by the coat collar and
''lift him into society,""
Another gentleman, at one time
prominent in office, and who cham
pioned Recorder matthew's case
has changed front and is now ac-
lively knitting him.
A clerk the son of his father
was requested to "step down and
out" from the Recorders office be-
cause of a constitutional weakness
that is to say born tired.
The 'ssoldier racket given this
clerk the son Of his father by the
Advocate is the pOnderOus effort Of
his own mighty intellect.
The ''unceremonious bouncing"
of this delicate child was no sur
prise to his illustrious father who
fully understood the weakness Of
his amible, and unselfish son.
Some colored men holding fat
positions under a democratic ad-
ministration are quietly, as they
think, endeavOring to defeat Re
corder Matthew's in obtaining a
position under an administration
in which he is in political sympa-
thy, and they are not.
Certain republican Senators,
who they have visited, have given
them "dead away" and, perhaps,
at no distant day these gentlemen
may possibly learn the proprieties
OF political action.
Recorder Matthews, has given
offence because he prefers to pur-
sue the quiet habits of his life in
preference to be "cheap John" at
every progressive Euchre party
and shoddy reception.
John Wesley Cromwell is dys-
peptic and a born grumbler and is
never so happy as when pulling
down some cOlOred man who towers
head and shoulders above him.
There is no Disgusting the fact
that Recorder Matthews is being
opposed by certain colored men
who have gained prominence in the
republican party and can't bear to
see honOrs conferred on other col
ored men even in the democratic
party.
Next weeks BEE will contain
many surprises some of which will
unsettle the value placed upon
high flyers in fashionable life.

The bayfield, Branch Lands.

WASHINGTON, September i2.-The acting
Commissioner of the General Land Office
has submitted to the Secretary of the In
terror his report of the adjustment of the
grant OF the Bayfield, branch of the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha railway.
He finds that the company is entitled TO
333, SCI acres, Of which 323, 600 acres have
been approved to the State of Wisconsin
for its benefit, leaving 10,261 acres still
due, but of the lands granted in place
thereof, AZ 1862 acres are vacant and sab
ject to selection. Should these granted
lands be approved the company VIII then
have received $40, 1852 acres, or 81, ,101 acres
in excess Of the quantity to which it is en-
titled. Therefore, the report says, the
company is not entitled to the certifcation
of additional indemnity lands. There are
$4,000 acres of unapproved indemnity Sc.
lections now pending, which, if the secre-
tary concurs in this report, must be can
celled. The acting commissioner also finds
that, as the company did not construct its
road upon the line of definite location,
there being three material deaections, it
thereby abandoned so much of its grant as
Is coteIminous with these deflections
